John Salmons has championed teammate Bobby Brown's raw talent since training camp and said he has the potential to be among the NBA's best defensive point guards.

"I think the biggest thing for him is he has to learn to cause havoc all game," Salmons said. "He's got to get up in his man like a Chris Paul (of New Orleans). He's causing havoc all game, all over the court. … Once (Brown) gets that mentality, I think he'll be a special player. He's got all the ability in the world."
